OK. I was mildly obsessed over meeting Mr Slope Guy for the first time.I was observing two novice teachers, and they were using Mr Slope Guy as a mnemonic for students in analyzing slope. But I think he could be fated for bigger and better adventures. Since my son Xavier is a budding comic book artist, we put together the following (PDF of the whole comic), with some inking support from Ysabela.
The problem was whether MSG was a hero or villain, and he wound up needing to be defeated. He is a personification of algebra.
Be interested in your feedback. Only one more thing to say: Marvel, please don't sue! Spider-man is a wholly owned trademark of Marvel, created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and starring in a major motion picture this summer.

ReplyDeleteI adore Mr. Slope Guy! Will certainly be using this idea in class.
ReplyDeletealtho i think the drawings are fantastic!.. i found the actual comic quite boring, i didnt understand how it linked with maths... but then again i only managed to get to the 5th slide.
ReplyDeletebut, then again, your son's drawings are brilliant!!
well done, i look foward to seeing his illustrations in the future!
I'll take the blame for anything lacking in the script. I wanted increase, decrease, vertical and horizontal, as well as some math puns.
